To Redline is a way of editing by which red ink is used to identify the removal or addition of text in Microsoft Word (here you can find out more about what does it mean to redline a document). You can be able to redline a Microsoft Word document by making use of the Microsoft Word’s inbuilt “Track Changes” feature, or you can do it manually by redlining the document with font color changes and strikethrough. The “Track Changes” is the best for large-scale editing and feedback. On the other hand, manual redlining is best suited for the smaller documents and papers that are sent between various versions of Word.
